Customers who frequently visit Competitive Cyclist know that there are three rules in copy descriptions. This is just an effective communication model. Giro has taken the same approach as Factress Techlace womens shoes. These womens shoes combine the most common fixing system (Boas IP1 dial, lace, hook and loop strap) to triangle the satisfaction of cycling shoes. The result is a minimalist profile of a lace-up empire with a customizable fit with the user-friendly convenience of the original Factress. Factress Techlace is the first Giro shoe with Boa dial, Giro uses it to secure the shoe to the top. This makes the IP1 single millimeter adjustment the best result. The rest of the shoe is secured with a velcro strap that secures with a lace. When it comes to fit, you can tighten the strap and dial the dial is similar to the original Factress, but replacing the full strap with laces can result in a decrease of material and the resulting weight of the shoelace. Giro has rated a 40g weight reduction per shoe compared to factory tech race to a simple all-factor. There will undoubtedly be a chorus of retro-grouches lamenting the combination as unneed ostentation, but we heard the same critique of laces when the Empire fist launched, and now its impossible to imagine a group or ride without one pair in the bunch. Easton EC90SLX2 sole is upgraded than Factress ACC models. It also contributes to weight loss. Despite the dropping of grams, the sole is stiff and efficient, and perfectly complements the steel hardware for attaching cleats or replacing heel pads. Like all Giros race shoes, it minimizes the stack height to eliminate the barrier between the watt and pedal. The sole is fitted with the same integrated upper used by Teijin Evofiber SL Giro on other top ties.
